✦ Synopsis

Modern movement analysis has significantly altered the surgical treatment of cerebral palsy. By providing an objective measurement of pre-and postoperative kinematics, kinetics, and electromyography, treatments can be devised and outcomes can be assessed. This article reviews the rationale for gait analysis, its component parts, and its utility in the development of modern surgical concepts, such as single stage surgery of the lower extremities, rectus to hamstring transfers, treatment of ankle equinus, and upper extremity tendon transfers. It's use as a clinical tool is also emphasized.

The two objectives of this study were: (1) to replicate previous findings on the effects of relaxation in the preparation for surgery, and (2) to analyse the interaction effect between type of intervention (i.e., relaxation and information provision) and coping style (i.e., high versus low monitorin
